Perhaps you had better explain what you mean by "ascii code of Chinese
characters". Chinese characters ("hanzi") can be represented in many
ways on a computer, in Unicode as well as many different "legacy"
encodings, such as GB, GBK, big5, two different 4-digit telegraph
codes, etc etc. They can also be spelled out in "roman" letters with or
without tone indications (digits or "accents") in the pinyin system --
is that what you mean by "ascii code"?

Perhaps you might like to tell us what you want to do in Python with
hanzi and "ascii codes", so that we can give you a specific answer.
With examples, please -- like what are the "ascii codes" for the two
characters in the common greeting that comes across in toneless pinyin
as "ni hao"?

Cheers,
John
